Background

Pentland Brands is a client of Acrotrend. Pentland Brands is implementing data governance to ensure the high quality of its data. Pentland Brands has acquired a data governance framework via Acrotrend's Data Governance Accelerator and is performing a ‘stock-take’ of the business’s data by prototyping a data catalogue. Pentland Brands now requires support and expertise to lead and facilitate deployment of the data governance framework into everyday business operations.


More broadly, Pentland Brands continues to respond to current data issues and develop future data capabilities. Pentland Brands requires support and expertise to build momentum and ensure the success of these activities

 

Objectives

This Statement of Work is aligned to the following objectives of the Customer:

  1. Support the Global Head of Data in efforts to develop a globally standardised set of data capabilities.
  2. Embed data governance organisation structure in the business, by assigning key data governance roles in the data governance organisation structure to appropriate members of incumbent teams.
  3. Conduct basic training and knowledge transfer necessary to equip relevant stakeholders with the knowledge required to effectively operate and continue to evolve the data governance framework.
  4. Facilitate business communications which position the data governance framework positively in people’s minds, such that the framework is on a strong footing for effective wider deployment.
  5. Continue to capture additional data use cases, which define the ways in which data should or must be used to achieve key business objectives (see – Engagement Scope)
  6. Prioritise a subset of data use cases which are both sufficiently feasible and beneficial to justify their realisation ahead of any others.
  7. Support continued development of the prototype data catalogue, to enable scrutiny of the quality of data which correspond to prioritised data use cases.
  8. Define and document data quality standards which will need to be met to enable prioritised data use cases to be realised.

  1. One or more Data Owners exist, who are comfortably informed about and trained in their role, so that they are able to perform it effectively.
  2. One or more Data Stewards exist, who are comfortably informed about and trained in their role, so that they are able to perform it effectively.
  3. A Data Governance Committee exists, which has convened Data Owners and Stewards at least once, and has published a schedule for regular future dialogue between Data Owners and Stewards.
  4. All members of the Data Governance Committee agree that they possess the knowledge and materials necessary to effectively operate and continue to evolve the data governance framework.
  5. Business communications have been published, which Data Governance Committee members all agree has effectively positioned the data governance framework positively in people’s minds.
